How to Make an Evergreen Wreath

Since Christmas is right around the corner, I thought I'd share with you how to make an evergreen wreath. It's not that difficult, and the beauty and smell of them are so nice for the holidays.

1. Pick your evergreens. They can be collected from your yard or purchased. Using all of the same kind gives a formal look. Different kinds can give it more texture. Some kinds of evergreens to consider are fir, juniper, and arborvitae.

2. Soak your evergreens. Cut off the bottom of each branch at an angle and soak for 24 hours in a bucket of water. This will make the wreath last longer.

Great tips for a wreath that will scent the house! I've also made twig wreaths and a couple of faux evergreen wreaths. I supply my own ribbon and look for unique objects to glue in between the ribbon wrapping. Nice of you to share your process.
